To run dex in process, the Gradle daemon needs a larger heap.
It currently has approximately 910 MB.
For faster builds, increase the maximum heap size for the Gradle daemon to more than 2048 MB.
To do this set org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx2048M in the project gradle.properties.
For more information see https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/build_environment.html

Answer 1

From the error message, there is a line which says

To run dex in process, the Gradle daemon needs a larger heap.
It currently has approximately 910 MB.

The error is due to low heap size specified. Anyway, you can solve this by adding this to your build.gradle

android {
  dexOptions {
    javaMaxHeapSize "4g"
  }
}

Please try this and let me know if it works.

Answer 2

Error:java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: com/android/dx/command/Main : Unsupported major.minor version 52.0

The 52.0 class version is used in Java 1.8. It seems that you are using a JDK with a lower version. Try upgrading it to 1.8.
